If something is abnormal, it is a demon.

Although he and Cui Jianxuan had a good relationship, although he accompanied others to rush back from Songshan, and reluctantly acted as a family member when Mrs. Tai was dying, however, Cui Gezhi's attitude was a little too enthusiastic, which made Du Shiyi feel not flattered, but really inexplicably flattered. After thinking about it, he couldn't get the point, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

handed over the handwritten letter to Lu Hongzhi to Lu Wangzhi, and asked him to go to Wangwu Mountain to find the two ink workers who left the thatched hut at the foot of the Junji Peak of Songshan Mountain and went to Wangwu Mountain, where the ancient pines were the most, after the success of ink making, and asked them to try to make Lu Hong's ten aspirations of the thatched cottage into a mold to make ink, and then send the finished product to Luoyang.

Qinghe Cui clan has a lot of books for generations, and Cui Gezhi opened the door to allow him to read all the books in the library at will, so during the long-lasting funeral of Mrs. Tai Dude, he spent the rest of his time in the library except for the indispensable appearance of etiquette and the extremely simple family banquet during the New Year. Although Cui Jianxuan studied under Lu Hong, he had never been interested in this place, and he came here once or twice at first, but he saw that Du Shiyi was still as well-read as he was in the grass hall and didn't have time to take care of himself, so he only showed up once a day.

In addition to greetings, Cui Wuniang often mentioned to Du Shiyi as if unintentionally mentioning the dignitaries of the various families in the court, and the important ministers in the court.

This rì, as always, he was in the library building while flipping through the book in his hand, while thinking about the place that needed to be copied, when he was in a trance, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind him: "Nineteen Lang seems to like reading history books very much?" But you must know that the provincial test is three, and the test is essays, scriptures, and questions, but as we all know, the first post scripture only needs to be four out of ten, and the important thing is that when the second test is essays, the poetry can be outstanding, and the third policy can be much easier. Nineteen Lang doesn't take advantage of this season to look at more rhyme books and the masterpieces of his predecessors, and prepare for future needs, but looks at these historical words, aren't you afraid of delay? ”

Knowing that it was Cui Wuniang, Du Shiyi calmly put down the scroll in his hand, turned his head and said with a smile: "As soon as the fifth lady opened her mouth, it was the provincial test, you must know that the most important thing now is the Jingzhao Mansion test, this pass can't be passed, isn't it a joke to talk about the provincial test?" ”

"Nineteen Lang doesn't seem to know that your reputation is no longer what it used to be. After all, Fan Chuan Du Jiulang was famous in Jingzhao in the past, and those who once preached your Jiang Lang's talents, because Liu Ximing, who suffered a loss after hitting the south wall, has long since been mentioned by no one. What's more, the twenty wine chips you proposed in Princess Yuzhen's annex have already spread, and it is said that even the famous ladies in Pingkangfang have adopted many of them. Moreover, among the people who had a banquet with you in Princess Yuzhen's annex, Miao Jinqing not only entered the high school rank, but also won the second place in one fell swoop. He praised your poetry a lot, so if you want to take the Jingzhao Mansion exam, if you don't win, someone will make fun of the examiner! ”

Du Shiyi and Miao Jinqing are just one side of the relationship in Princess Yuzhen's annex, Miao Jinqing is a lawyer, talking and laughing, witty and witty, whether it is dealing with people or poetry and urgency, they are all first-class, Jinshi and the first plus the high level of science and technology are not surprising, but he doesn't have much friendship with people, how can this person publicize his name to the public?

Seeing Du Shiyi's hesitant expression, Cui Wuniang said with a smile: "Luzhou Miao Jinqing, although the official position of his ancestors and fathers is not obvious, he is an outlier, and his articles and poems are all the best choices. What's even more rare is that he is a kind person, it is best to be kind to others, since you know that Princess Yuzhen treated you very kindly before, and you really have real talent and learning, he has already reached the top in one fell swoop, so what's the harm in making a name for you? Not everyone is as stunned as Wang Lingran, and it is no wonder that Ji Yi is still guarding the election, even if he is talented, no one appreciates it. It's like the Liu Ximing who had some trouble with you in the past, after Jiang Shilang fell off his horse and was sent back to the Eastern Capital, I heard that he was in trouble a few times, and he went to Jingzhao Mansion to solve the test and failed, and he was planning to try again this year. It's okay if you don't take the provincial test, but if you fail again and again, the face of the Liu family in Guanzhong will be lost. ”

"I see, thank you for telling me." Du Shiyi heard the meaning of Cui Wuniang's words, and immediately thanked him, "The way of poetry is to focus on the spiritual wit, but it is not a good work if you try more." However, history is said to be true, but if you look at it more, you often get something else. Taizong Bixia once said that with copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. Therefore, no matter how well the poetry is done, there may be mistakes and omissions on the side of governance, and if history is used as a mirror, if you can really get into the department in one fell swoop and summarize the lessons of your predecessors, you can avoid countless detours. ”

Cui Wuniang was just joking at first, but when she was talking, it became a tactful reminder, but when she heard these words at this moment, she only felt that Du Shiyi was revealing an indescribable confidence. If it is really a person who even finds it difficult to rank in Jingzhao Mansion, how can he think of the future of Dengke in one fell swoop?

"Since Nineteen Lang is confident, it's because I'm too worried!" Cui Wuniang smiled, and then said, "In this case, Nineteen Lang invited himself to read, and I will leave first." ”

When she hurriedly walked out of the library building, Cui Wuniang glanced back at the small building, and when she thought about it, she also saw that Du Shiyi had once held the "Book of Rites" annotated by her grandmother, and she couldn't help but groan. After taking a few steps forward with her head down, she almost collided with someone. It wasn't until a strange voice came from her ears that she suddenly came back to her senses.

"Sister!" Cui Jiuniang looked at her sister who was in a trance with an incredulous face, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and then asked curiously, "Why are you so distracted, you almost hit me!" ”

"It's nothing, but I have some feelings in my heart

That's it. Cui Wuniang looked at her temples casually, and then said, "Are you going to the library?" Du Langjun is now reading a book in the building to prepare for the test, if you don't have a big deal, don't go upstairs to disturb him. You went back earlier to accompany A-Niang, and during this mourning period, you ran around and were seen, and it was inevitable that you would say that you were disrespectful to the grandmother who went to the fairy. ”

Seeing that Cui Wuniang left without looking back after saying this, Cui Jiuniang suddenly felt full of suspicion. She glanced up at the two-story library building that was not tall, and suddenly clenched her fist and smashed her head lightly, but she couldn't understand why her sister would treat the guy inside so kindly, so she turned around angrily and rushed away. However, she searched all over the house and didn't find Cui Jianxuan, Cui Chengxun Cui Jian also hid quickly when she saw her, and when she arrived at Zuihou, she couldn't help the doubts in her heart, and finally came straight to the outside of her mother's bedroom.

To the unimpeded place of Cui Jiuniang, this time it suddenly became a forbidden area, and Fu Yuan, who was guarding the door, just shook her head gently and respectfully, indicating that Madame and Wu Niangzi were discussing important matters, and resolutely stopped her outside. She was already holding back her doubts in her heart, where could she bear it, and after going down the steps, she glanced at Fu Yuan, and she suddenly had an idea. She took the maidservant girl straight to the empty dormitory of her grandmother at the back, but when she reached the small door of the back wall, she undoubtedly ordered the male maid Green Cicada to change clothes with her, and then went to her mother's dormitory without hitting the south wall without looking back.

This time, she didn't go to the door to touch Fu Yuan's nails again, but let the other maidservant Yun Qiao look at the wind, and she actually climbed from the high railing behind the dormitory to the platform. Fortunately, the maid's men's clothing is easy to move, she has been riding a horse with Cui Jianxuan since she was a child, and her skills are also quite athletic, after landing gently, she touched the position of her mother and sister at the moment little by little according to the pattern of her mother's dormitory in her impression. However, despite the fact that there were four windows on the north wall that were used for light, the windows were now so tightly covered with paper that she did not dare to leave a shadow on the windows, so she could only hide her head and try to listen.

"Don't tell the truth...... She's quick-tempered......"

“…… But I want to wronged you......"

“…… If he is a high school scholar...... Cui's Marriage ...... Justifiably...... Grandpa......"

Although the fragmentary sentences are indistinguishable, Cui Jiuniang is so smart, pondering and pondering, and quickly put together all the fragments, and her face has changed greatly for a while. Although she still wanted to listen to the inside story, but then there was only her mother's sigh and worry about her father's health, and she didn't want to listen to it anymore. When she went to a secluded place to meet the green cicada and change her clothes, she gritted her teeth fiercely, and turned around and left again without saying a word, leaving the two maidservants looking at each other.

In the library building, Du Shiyi looked at the books on the high shelves, glanced at the shelves where the volumes he had read one by one these days and copied the main points were located, and he sighed softly, but he also had to sigh that there was not enough time. With Cui's abundant book collection, if he still desperately copied books like in the grass hall, he was afraid that he might not be able to complete such a workload even if he was white-headed, so he had to settle for the next best. Fortunately, during his study in the cottage, he had already mastered all the meanings of the nine scriptures needed for the scriptures, and now he only needs to copy what he needs, which is naturally more efficient than before.

He was slightly distracted, and his ears suddenly caught the slightest movement coming from the door. Although he didn't look back, the feeling of being bullied behind him couldn't be faked. Vaguely aware that the person stopped less than two or three steps away from him, almost instinctively, he held the book in his hand and suddenly moved a step sideways, and saw that the person who suddenly pounced on him almost hit his head on the shelves full of scrolls, and then let out a cry of pain, and he couldn't help frowning when he turned around.

Is it a woman? There seems to be only one Cui Jiuniang who will run here so unclear!

"You cunning guy!" Cui Jiuniang stood up straight with her sore head covered, and then stared at Du Shiyi with her eyes breathing fire, and said with a face full of anger after a while, "I thought you were working so hard in the library building, it turned out to be to attract my sister's heart!" ”

This sudden rebuke made Du Shiyi stunned for a moment. Seeing that Cui Jiuniang's head was knocked out of a red mark, the face of the non-powdered Dai was full of anger, and he didn't even notice that his bun was loose, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did Jiuniang start with this?" ”

"Didn't you mention it to Grandpa, but if you come to Rì to enter the Shidi, you will marry my sister?"

Du Shiyi was stunned for a moment, and then he casually put the scroll on the side shelf, and then looked at Cui Jiuniang and said with a smile: "Although I don't know where Jiu Niangzi heard this, I really don't understand, since Wu Niangzi was widowed, many children of famous families asked to marry, and she never agreed to remarry, so naturally she didn't fall in love with me." As for age, Wu Niangzi is a few years older than me, if I really propose to Zhao Guogong that if I ascend to Jinshidi, I will marry Cui's daughter, how can it be you, not Wu Niangzi, right? ”

Seeing that Cui Jiuniang was choked by her own words and her face turned red like a boiled shrimp, Du Shiyi put away her smile: "What I should have said has been said, Jiu Niangzi, please go back!" ”

"You ......"

Cui Jiuniang almost gritted her silver teeth before she burst out such a simple word, and her face was even more red and feverish. At this moment, a voice came from behind her.

"Ninth sister, why are you here?" It was none other than Cui Jianxuan who broke in with a big grin. He didn't pay attention to the expression on Cui Jiuniang's face, he walked to Du Shiyi in three or two steps, grabbed the person and walked out, and said to himself, "Hurry up, don't be a nerd here all day long." Wu Jiu and a few of them have come back from Lingnan! ”
